Blackberry Cobbler

Blackberries are probably my favorite fruit, so blackberry cobbler is one of my favorite desserts, but you just don’t see that many locally grown ones.  There is a farm nearby that we could go pick them, but we have had so much rain that they are telling you to use them the same day, and I just have not been able to carve out the time to go pick them and use them in the same day – well I could have done this cobbler honestly, but they give you this huge bucket to pick them in, and using all of them is a different story.  Maybe I will still get around to it.  In the meantime though we made a trip to the State Farmers’ Market in Atlanta where I was able to purchase just a few more than I needed that were fairly firm.  I used them a little over 24 hours later, and they were still great – though I don’t think they would have made it to the next day.

The recipe is a dump cobbler my mother has always made.  She usually makes peach, but I prefer blackberry.  It is super simple, and one of the best desserts ever.  I make mine in a bowl and then pour it into the baking dish, but you really can stir it up right there in the baking dish.  I love it topped with vanilla ice cream, but it is delicious right by itself too.

Yield 4 -6

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Stir together all ingredients except extra two tablespoons sugar and fruit until well blended.
3. Pour into an 8″ x 8″ baking dish.
4. Add fruit. I kind of sprinkle it around to evenly distribute it. You don’t need to stir it. The crust will rise up over the fruit.
5. Sprinkle with the remaining two tablespoons of sugar.
6. Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and set.
